Endocrinology

The body's endocrine system includes the pancreas, the thyroid, parathyroid, pineal, hypothalamus, adrenal and pituitary glands, and the ovaries and testes. It also involves many other organs which respond to, modify, or metabolize hormones. Endocronologists evaluate and treat patients for endocrine and metabolic disorders.
